Over the next ten minutes or so, we're going to talk about how to get your new vape starter kit out of the box and ready to puff. These instructions will vary widely depending on what kind of device you've chosen, but don't worry, they're all pretty simple to work with. We'll break things down into categories from here on out so you can skip straight to the kind of device you have.

One of the more daunting parts of upgrading from a pod mod to a larger mod is figuring out how to replace your vape coils. A coil’s lifespan depends on the type and model, in addition to how often you use it. A disposable coil head could last anywhere from a few days to a month before it starts to develop a burnt taste, which is usually a sign it's nearing the end of its life. One of the more frequent questions is: how do you clean a coil if it starts to go bad?

If you're using basic, pre-manufactured coil heads in your new sub-ohm clearomizer tank, you may think all you have to do is screw it in, fill your tank with some juice and start vaping. We hate to break it to you, but while it’s fairly simply to prime and change your coils, it’s not quite that simple.

Sooner or later, you're bound to end up with vape gear you're not using on a daily basis. This is a good thing. You always want to have backups (and backups for your backups) to avoid the risk of a smoking relapse if you can’t vape on your primary gear. Still, if you want your spare hardware to remain in prime condition while it's waiting to be pulled off the bench (or maybe even for the day you gift it to a friend looking to switch) it's worth taking a few minutes to pack it away right.

Coils are an essential part of the inner workings of a vape device, they're what turns e-liquid into vapor. If you’re curious about how the different parts of vape mods work, you’ve come to the right place. Here, we’ll answer your questions about one of most frequently replaced items in a a vape setup: vape coils.

Replacement pods and cartridges are necessities for anyone using pod mods or non-disposable cigalike vapor devices. Sooner or later, you're going to need some replacements to keep you vaping. So let's go over what they are and how to get them. If you’re not familiar with pods and cartridges, this might seem confusing at first. What kind do I need? Can I switch my pod out for one from another device? Luckily, here at Breazy we have all your answers and our online store is chock-full of pods and cartridges to choose from.  

The time has come. If you've decided that yes, vaping sounds like the right choice for your situation, and you want to get started, it’s time for a starter kit. Great! But still, you may be thinking, with so many different devices out there, how do I go about picking the right one? Let's quickly go over your options, and lay out some of the reasons you might choose one over another. If your first need to understand what a starter kit is and what it includes and doesn’t include, check out our article in this series, “What's a Starter Kit?”

Ah, the vape starter kit. This may be the simplest sounding, yet most confusing term in all of vaping. We've seen just about every category of vape device billed as a starter kit over the years, and while the name implies it has everything you'll need to get started, that may or may not be the case. Let's go through all of the most common set-ups you'll see advertised as starter kits and discuss what they really entail. What's more, we'll cover some of the accessories you'll need to make it more than a few days into your vape journey.

Welcome to Breazy’s beginner's guide to vape hardware. Today we're talking tanks, the part of an advanced personal vaporizer (APV, or just "mod") that holds your e-liquid until it's ready to be vaporized. Most of our time here is going to be spent with the device you're most likely to encounter on a modern entry-level mod: the sub-ohm clearomizer (because it's clear), or "tank." There are other types of tanks we'll name, but not discuss, later.

In this section we're going to cover the main piece of hardware used in vaping: the vape mod. Before we dive into the types here, it's important to know that this term is used rather loosely in the vape world, and its meaning is not always as clear cut as we’d like it to be. The first type of vapor device to hit the market in the late 2000s was the cigalike, a portmanteau of "cigarette" and "alike" because it was roughly the same size and shape as a combustible cigarette.

Pod mods are compact e-cigarettes that store e-liquid that in a self-contained pod. They are compact, easy to use and inconspicuous. There are two types of pod mods: Closed and Open System. Closed systems have sealed pods that are pre-filled, and open systems have refillable pods.

When vaping first gained mainstream popularity around 2013 vape pens were all the rage, and to this day they retain a committed fan following. Even if you don't know it, you're probably already familiar with pen style vapes. They were the first compact vape devices to catch on that weren’t cigalikes in that they didn’t look and function like cigarettes. While they have been largely eclipsed by the newer technology of vape pods, they still hold up as a solid entry-level device.
